The political and academic appropriation of the term queer over the last several years has marked a shift in the study of sexuality from a focus on supposedly essential categories as gay and lesbian to more fluid or queer notions of sexual identity. Yet queer is a category still in the process of formation. In Queer Theory, Annamarie Jagose provides a clear and concise explanation of queer theory, tracing it as part of an intriguing history of same-sex love over the last century.
Blending insights from prominent theorists such as Judith Butler and David Halperin, Jagose argues that queer theory's challenge is to create new ways of thinking, not only about fixed sexual identities such as heterosexual and homosexual, but also about other supposedly essential notions such as sexuality and gender and even man and woman.
Queer is also productively informed by lesbian feminism in three crucial respects: its attention to the specificity og gender; its framing of sexuality as institutional rather than personal, and its critique of compulsory hetersexuality (查看原文)
Nationally and internationally, gay liberation was neither a monolithic nor even an entirely coherent social movement. It was organised around analyses of the structures of lesbian and gay oppression, and how such oppression might be overcome. Homosexuality was represented as an identity repressed by heterosexist power structures which privilege gender-asymmetry, sexual reproduction and the patriarchal nuclear family. Unlike the homophile
movement, gay liberation theorised that the system would never be radically transformed by those who were invested in it.
Dominant formulations of sex and gender categories (and the institutions which supported them) would be eradicated only by gay men and lesbians who, refusing to accept their subaltern status, would destroy the system through literal a... (查看原文)

海龙果读书会上备受瞩目的重口“小黄书”，内容很有意思。从起初带有病理化色彩的homesexual，到具有社群意识的gay/lesbian认同，再到颠覆传统性别性征观念、拒绝本质主义定义的queer（酷儿），作者结合性少数群体政治权利运动的历史，梳理了直至酷儿理论诞生的社会思潮发展脉络，展现出酷儿理论的独特创见，以及其“叛离”身份政治而引发的争议。

简明实用的入门书，编年史写法很适合初学者，梳理了酷儿理论的前身及发展，也提示了历时与共时层面的复杂牵连，如果联系到晚近关于时间性的讨论来看，大概是酷儿理论自身的queer asynchronies。不过毕竟是二十年前的书，新议题可参考Routledge的读本。
